From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows a woman with a tall, powdered wig and a soft smile. She wears a fancy dress with lace and embroidery, holding a small bouquet of flowers. The background is plain black, and the gold frame adds a touch of elegance. The woman’s outfit looks like it’s from an earlier time, with delicate patterns and bright colors. The flowers she holds are simple but add a gentle detail. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings.
